Sounds of Gledhill.

A LYRICAL MONTAGE FROM ANCHOR.


This is my song to remember me by
When the moon grows long in the sky
And you wonder why goodbyes are bound to be
Life goes on, love, you will see


Pack your bags and lock your door
I’ll take you places you’ve not been before


There are those who think that I’m strange
They would box me up and tell me to change
But you hold me close and softly say
That you wouldn’t have me any other way


Walk on a wire, jump through a fire for you
Hang from my knees on a trapeze while you
Make me spin


Nobody knows that I am a secret spy
I follow you home, careful to walk behind you
I climb up your tree and hide in the leaves
To keep you from seeing who I am


Call me obsessed, but I need to know your name
Your age, your address and where in the world you came from
It’s silly to think that I’m on the brink
Of falling right off my rocker


I’m the definition of obsessive-compulsive


Rocket high, comets fly
You and I could take a ride
And fly away to Neverland
And give our best to Peter Pan


I wanna hold the whole wide world
Right here in my open hands
Maybe I’m just a little girl
A little girl with great big plans


We don’t have a lot but there’s no shortage here for love


Story’s read, prayer is said
Close your eyes sleepyhead


I LIKE MINDY GLEDHILL.
Her songs just make sense, you know? No, you don't.
Well, the lyrics do.
Her music does.
The sounds of Gledhill are gifts from Mindy. I have no idea what I'm trying to convey.


Ever had a song where you feel like you're a whole different person and you can imagine how each step of your life would be like? That's what happens when i listen to her entire album Anchor. How can you ignore her when she mentions Peter Pan and Circus in her songs?


Maybe I'm just 'digging' this indie genre. I don't know. 


I just know it makes me feel like a different person.


Maybe its a drug feeding my 'needs' or my 'lacks'.


I like it anyways.

I STRONGLY RECOMMEND GLEDHILL INTO THE PLAYLISTS OF OLD AND YOUNG. ITS BOTH NOSTALGIC AND CURRENT. ITS SO CLASSIC IT MAY JUST STAND AGAINST THE CHANGE OF MUSIC IN TIME. 


HELLO, HOW ARE YOU?
MY DARLING.
TODAY


XOXO

Hair Suicide

Yes.
Hair Suicide.
One of the world's leading hair disasters.

I did it.
I should slap myself, and the 'skilled' hairdresser.
Actually, its my fault.
My bangs were so short already,

WHY THE CHICKEN DID I DECIDE TO SNIP SNIP SNIP?

WHY!!!???

I don't know.

I don't know if I should grow out my bangs, or should I thicken it so it'd look normal.


WHY IS MY MOUTH SO ITCHY?
that they have to ask for a cut.
WHY ARE MY LEGS SO ITCHY?
that they walked to the salon.
WHY IS MY EYES SO ITCHY?
that it kept staring at my bangs till I had to cut it.

Everyone should shave their head.

I am furious and sad.
This would add to my first hair post entry.

My hair was supposed to be EXACTLY likt this, but black.

AND IT WAS, for at least 2 days since I got my haircut a month ago.
then the fringe curled into a ball of curliness.
then my hairline was so messy I couldn't find my parting.
My hair is a mess.

Its gonna take forever and ever and ever to grow out my bangs.

Maybe this is a sign
That I should study
and not think pretty things
so much
or
I
wont
concentrate.

Good.
Soothing thoughts.
Poo.

no XOXO for anyone.

Aselin Debison

Many don't know her, but, I'm not surprised. Her music is hard to appreciate, such genre is rarely appreciated. I don't find many who do. I don't find much who appreciates Celtic as I do. I first discovered her when I was searching for songs by Norah Jones. I chanced upon a beautiful medley of Somewhere Over the Rainbow (What a Wonderful World) by Aselin Debison. It was masked by Norah Jones' name, but I quickly came to realize the child-like voice and serene melody was simply unlike that of Jones.

I went to look it up.

And... The rest is history.

I've been listening to her since then.

It would be definitely uncanny to say I find serenity in her music, but I don't think it is impossible. Its the same way people feel a 'connection' to a song by Taylor Swift or even Miley Cyrus. I just feel more tranquil.

She not only does Celtic, which happens to be my favourite genre of songs to listen from her, but she does POP. However, it isn't like the POP we here today, or the POP tweens you see scouring the pages and covers of POP tiger. I don't know how else to 'genre-nify' her kind of POP, but I would say its rather comparable to the old kind. The kinds without autotune, LOTS of guitar and piano, probably the 90s era feel.

I always felt immensely 'connected' with a song or singer I like, but the feeling just dies a little after a while. Aselin however, her songs make me feel so nostalgic. I remember how I sang her songs in the shower three years ago when I sing it now. I remember how the I was first introduced to Celtic music, which I DO love. Its the kind of emotion you get from nostalgia mixed with a little bit of chocolate. I have no idea what that was supposed to me, but I guess anyone can interpret it their way.

Still, her voice is so child-like, it just feels right.
I don't know what RIGHT is, but it just feels so.

And, to give a face to the musician...

And... Maybe a taste of what she sounds like...

(Skip to 0:22)




I like her, and I like her songs.
She's been singing since she was young, and I hope she'd be up and rising fast.

Run Off...

So I guess this would be a 'Run off ' post from my previous post entitled 10/10/10. 

Oh pisshh. Batt flatt! 

Well plugging in my battery charger was tiring... 

I've been revising literature for a while, and a run off line is a a sentence in a poem that are separated lines... Or something like that. I thought I'd write a bit about things that happened yesterday, not that they were very interesting, but I guess I wanted to do this post so I can post pictures. (:

So Jasmine, and I went over to Claudia's(She has the same name as my sister) house to study literature together. It was truly productive, and I learnt much things. Claudia had to go to church, so we ended in 2 hours, and snapped a few pictures via my beautiful photobooth. It HAS been the peak of fun in my Macbook Pro, ranging from strangely distorted pictures of my family(mostly) and friends, and especially my sister. It has brought undoubtedly queer joy to many. We see the pictures so often on facebook and various social sites, but it is the process of the pic, that is the most fun.

So like any other armed Macbook fanatic, I introduced the world of photobooth to them(Not that they've never heard of it, by introduce, I really mean 'click-the-photobooth-a')

And so the series of unending photobooth snapshots that will line the rest of the post.

I like pigtails! ><

10/10/10

Maybe its supposed to be a really special day, but I'm weighed down by the papers that society has set for everyone. Exams. Finals. Whatever they call it.

Today is my parent's 20th Anniversary, for being legally married (Nope, they were never illegally married, its just the ROM). 20 years is a really long time! I am really happy to be part of their lives, and I would never wish for it any other way.

We've been through family ups and downs, goods and bads. Which family hasn't? And I love how that brings us just closer to each other in different ways other families aren't. I'm not saying other families aren't as close, but I guess the 'connection' is different, the way we connect is different.

To me, today isn't just the day to celebrate their marriage, but to celebrate the family we've been, and the parents they've been to me, and I guess that's my objective today.

My parents are not perfect, then again, perfection is flawed. I have wished them to be many things but themselves whenever they reprimand me, annoy me, or we get into an argument. I wish my mom would concentrate on the movies she watch instead of asking questions every 20 seconds. Then again, I would never learn patience if she wasn't who she is. I wish my dad would stop asking me so many thought-provoking questions that parents would not have asked their child, but it would never make the curious person in me. I would never be who I am, and its not because they are physically teaching and moulding me, but they as themselves, as people I interact with, becomes the root of who I am. I love my parents.

They have done MANY annoying things, and they have made me feel like I'm not important, misunderstood etc. But because of how they taught me when I was young, I know very well, that, I AM AN ADOLESCENCE, AND I AM EMOTIONAL AND OVERSENSITIVE. Therefore, I more or less can push away those touchy feelings away. At times. They really try to understand and know me as a person, going great lengths to pep-talk when I am having social problems, especially at the start of this year when I felt really out of place in school. They have ALWAYS tried their best, and that just overshadows their shortcomings.

In conjunction to this simple event in my life, I decided that this song would be great for my parents. Its from me to them, though I wonder if they ever know that this is my blog, they don't poke around much... I think in 10 years time, I will reveal this post to them. If I still blog and if I've not deleted this blog or moved on to a bunch of new blogs.

YOU'LL BE IN MY HEART.


Come stop your crying
It will be all right
Just take my hand Hold it tight 

I will protect you
from all around you
I will be here
Don't you cry 

For one so small,
you seem so strong
My arms will hold you,
keep you safe and warm
This bond between us
Can't be broken
I will be here
Don't you cry 

'Cause you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forever more 

You'll be in my heart
No matter what they say
You'll be here in my heart, always 

Why can't they understand
the way we feel
They just don't trust
what they can't explain
I know we're different but,
deep inside us
We're not that different at all 

And you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forever more 

Don't listen to them
'Cause what do they know
We need each other,
to have, to hold
They'll see in time
I know 

When destiny calls you
You must be strong
I may not be with you
But you've got to hold on
They'll see in time
I know
We'll show them together 

'Cause you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
From this day on,
Now and forever more 

Oh, you'll be in my heart
No matter what they say
You'll be in my heart, always
Always 


TO MY BELOVED MOMMY AND DADDY, I LOVE YOU GUYS VERY MUCH, AND YOU HAVE BEEN THE BEST PARENTS GOD COULD HAVE EVER GIVEN ME. I TRULY AM HAPPY TO HAVE YOU. I COULD NEVER WISH FOR ANYTHING MORE, OR LESS. YOU'LL ALWAYS BEEN IN MY HEART, TILL YOUR RIPE OLD AGE AND YOUR LEATHERY SKIN SAGS FURTHER, YOU'LL ALWAYS BE THE BEST PARENTS TO ME, YOU'RE MY ONLY PARENTS ANYWAY! (: YOU'VE ALWAYS PROTECTED ME, LIKE THE SONG, AND SOON IT WILL BE MY TURN TO PROTECT YOU.


*Yesterday, my grandmother said the sinner's prayer. I am ecstatic! Ain't that the perfect present for a anniversary?
